Trade Practice Complaints

The Market Conduct Rules under the ICCC Act prohibits behaviour that restricts competition in the market.

As part of its enforcement and adjudication role under the ICCC Act, the ICCC investigates alleged trade practice complaints of actual/potential contraventions of the Market Conduct Rules and takes appropriate actions to remedy these contraventions. The ICCC also initiate its own enquiry into any potential anti-competitive conduct in the market place. This function of the ICCC is important to ensure compliance of the ICCC Act by persons/businesses doing commerce in Papua New Guinea. By doing so, the ICCC promotes and protects the competitive process in the PNG markets and its resultant benefits to consumers and businesses.
